  • Status of Pacific Island Coral Reef Fisheries by Tim Adams1, Paul Dalzell1 and Richard Farman2

    Status of Pacific Island Coral Reef Fisheries by Tim Adams1, Paul Dalzell1 and Richard Farman2

    Status of Pacific Island coral reef fisheries by Tim Adams1, Paul Dalzell1 and Richard Farman2 1. SPC Coastal Fisheries Programme 2. Service de la mer, Province Sud, Nouméa, New Caledonia (paper presented at 8th International Coral Reef Symposium, Panama, 1996) Abstract It is difficult to determine the status of fisheries on Pacific Islands coral reefs. The region is economically undeveloped, sparsely populated and its coral reefs are scattered over a vast area. Resultant constraints on monitoring and investigation mean that quantitative information is rare. The few available quantitative indicators are summarised here alongside opinions based on extensive practical experience. Most anecdotal reports about exploitation of Pacific Island marine life that reach the global press concern adverse aspects of fisheries and this, in context with the definite crises being experienced in other global fisheries, particularly southeast Asian reef-fisheries, has led to a general feeling of pessimism about the broad impact of fishing on Pacific Island reefs. However, the available evidence suggests that Pacific Island reef fisheries as a whole do not exert an excessive pressure on reefs and that (high) local protein nutritional demands can be sustained at least for the immediate future. However, it is urgent that this apparent overall sustainability be consolidated through state-recognised management arrangements; it is necessary that some specific overfishing problems be addressed; and it is particularly important that the adverse influence of terrestrial activities and run-off on the carrying capacity of coral reefs fisheries be mitigated. Introduction Fisheries on Pacific Island coral reefs, despite the increasing pace of outside influence, are still overwhelmingly subsistence fisheries.

    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 110, C11012, doi:10.1029/2004JC002675, 2005 Island wakes in the Southern California Bight R. M. A. Caldeira,1,2 P. Marchesiello,3 N. P. Nezlin,4 P. M. DiGiacomo,5 and J. C. McWilliams3 Received 19 August 2004; revised 21 February 2005; accepted 14 June 2005; published 18 November 2005. [1] Wind- and current-induced island wakes were investigated using a multiplatform approach of in situ, remote sensing, and numerical model simulations for the Southern California Bight (SCB). Island wind wakes are a result of sheltering from the wind, with weak wind mixing, strong heat storage, and consequent high sea surface temperature (SST). Wind wakes around Santa Catalina Island are most persistent during spring and summer months. Current wakes, caused by the disruption of the poleward traveling California Countercurrent, induce eddies to form off the north end of Catalina Island, and these move poleward every 9–12 days. Current wake eddies induce strong mixing, with low SST and high-density sea surface signatures, whereas wind wakes induce high sea surface temperature signatures associated with the formation of a well-defined shallow thermocline. Current wake eddies vary from 1 to 30 km in diameter. From numerical solutions we predicted the frequency of occurrence of current-induced wakes off Santa Catalina Island. Wind wakes were also observed off all the other islands of the SCB as seen from the analysis of synthetic aperture radar data. Time series analysis of the island mass effect phenomenon has shown a concurrence of low SST and high sea surface chlorophyll for Santa Catalina, San Nicholas, and San Clemente islands that might be related to the seasonality of the California Current and California Countercurrent.

    Raised Marine Features, Radiocarbon Dates, and Sea Level Changes, Eastern Melville Peninsula, Arctic Canada’ L.A

    ARCTIC VOL. 44, NO. 1 (MARCH 1991) R 63-73 Raised Marine Features, Radiocarbon Dates, and Sea Level Changes, Eastern Melville Peninsula, Arctic Canada’ L.A. DREDGE2 (Received 5 April 1990; accepted in revised form 9 October 1990) ABSTRACT. Radiocarbon dates from eastern Melville Peninsula indicatethat deglaciation of western Foxe Basin occurredabout 6900 years ago, although lateice persisted in an area northwest of Hall Lake and on the central plateau. Relative sea level was as high as 144 m above present at that time. ’ho new well-controlled sea level curves depict emergence as an exponential decay function. Marine limit elevations and nested curves indicate a major ice-loading centre in south-central Foxe Basin. Thesedata and archaeological dates suggest a secondary recent rebound centre in the northern part of the basin. Flights of raised beaches, prevalentin the area, are composed of angular limestone fragments and suggest that frost-riving occurs in shallow foreshore environments. The prominentwash line near the marine limit suggests that Foxe Basin had less sea ice cover prior to 6OOO years ago but that coastal processes have been similar to present since that time. Key words: Arctic, coasts, archaeology, radiocarbon dating, glacial history, emergence, sea level, geomorphology RESUMl?.

Kjeldsen ([email protected]) Abstract. We present bathymetry and hydrological observations collected in the summer of 2014 from two fjord systems in Southeast Greenland, using SS Activ with a multibeam system temporally installed over the side of the ship. Our results provide a detailed bathymetric map of the fjord complex around Skjoldungen Island and the outer part of Timmiarmiut Fjord 15 and show far greater depths compared to the International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean. The hydrography collected show different properties in the fjords with the bottom water masses below 240 m in Timmiarmiut Fjord being 1 - 2 °C warmer than in the two fjords around Skjoldungen Island, but data also illustrate the influence of sills on the exchange of deeper water masses within fjords.

    Bounded by Heritage and the Tamar: Cornwall As 'Almost an Island'

    Island Studies Journal, 15(1), 2020, 223-236 Bounded by heritage and the Tamar: Cornwall as ‘almost an island’ Philip Hayward University of Technology Sydney, Australia [email protected] (corresponding author) Christian Fleury University of Caen Normandy, France [email protected] Abstract: This article considers the manner in which the English county of Cornwall has been imagined and represented as an island in various contemporary contexts, drawing on the particular geographical insularity of the peninsular county and distinct aspects of its cultural heritage. It outlines the manner in which this rhetorical islandness has been deployed for tourism promotion and political purposes, discusses the value of such imagination for agencies promoting Cornwall as a distinct entity and deploys these discussions to a consideration of ‘almost- islandness’ within the framework of an expanded Island Studies field. Keywords: almost islands, Cornwall, Devon, islands, Lizard Peninsula, Tamar https://doi.org/10.24043/isj.98 • Received May 2019, accepted July 2019 © 2020—Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Introduction Over the last decade Island Studies has both consolidated and diversified. Island Studies Journal, in particular, has increasingly focussed on islands as complex socio-cultural-economic entities within a global landscape increasingly affected by factors such as tourism, migration, demographic change and the all-encompassing impact of the Anthropocene. Islands, in this context, are increasingly perceived and analysed as nexuses (rather than as isolates). Other work in the field has broadened the focus from archetypal islands—i.e., parcels of land entirely surrounded by water—to a broad range of locales and phenomena that have island-like attributes.
